Courtney Smith is "a graduate student at United Lutheran Seminary (formerly Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia and Gettysburg), studying for my Masters of Divinity...(and is) on the ordination track in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) to become a pastor." (See here)

Here is some of what she has been saying on Twitter:
​

Fact check: Jerusalem is the Capitol of Israel.

Don’t tell me you care about the Middle East if you don’t think Palestine should be free and lifted from oppression #SOTU2019

Elle Dowd is a student at the ELCA's Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. Two recent Facebook post by this student are posted below. The first contains a picture of Elle in or near Israel with a head covering and a closed fist up in the air. Part of her comments with this picture were:

"Our US tax dollars fund an occupation that is violently enforced, including the use of the same chemical weapons against the Palestinians that we choked on in St Louis during the uprising."

"Free Palestine.

​From Ferguson to Palestine, occupation is a crime."

You should read the whole post because not only does it proclaim a lie, saying Israel occupies "Palestine," but she makes no mention of the violence, terror tunnels, arson, knifing, rockets attacks and pedestrians being hit by cars, perpetrated by Palestinians.

​Kevin Beebe is an ELCA "Pastor-to-Be" studying at the ELCA'sPacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. He loves to post LGBT supportive information, Palestinian propaganda against Israel, and anti-Trump materials on social media. This is the type of pastor the ELCA has, and is producing to lead your congregation.

The ELCA seminarian supports the BDS movement, which advocates boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel, as you see below.
​

Here future pastor Beebe complains about Israel building an underground wall to prevent Palestinian terrorist tunnels used to invade and kill Israelis. That is mind-numbing stupid.

Time to stop this violence from occupying soldiers. End the Israeli occupation. Looking at you, @realDonaldTrump. Stop defunding hospitals and schools, rather stop selling guns to Israel.https://t.co/c0mO9okTRQ

If globalism is bad, @POTUS@realDonaldTrump, then how about we stop our activity in one of largest ways the USA contributes: arms sales. Stop selling weapons around the world, particularly to occupying nations like Israel.

First inter-religious guest at an @ELCA Assembly @EricYoffie:
“we also know that to occupy and control the lives of millions of Palestinians in the West Bank, and to negate their right to create their own state, side by side with the St of Israel, is not just, moral, or Jewish.” https://t.co/FIMXP9Qwco
